Speaking of the U.S. Coast Guard...

As I mentioned in my earlier post, I served in the Coast Guard for almost 10 years. People who serve in the Coast Guard are called "Coasties" - it is a term of endearment.

I came up with a name for folks who used to be in the Coast Guard, I call them (and me) "Post-Coasties" - it's a play on words based on the ever popular cereal "Post Toasties" (corn flakes). I started a blog for Post-Coasties just last month and I'm already getting a lot of hits on the site.

Last year, I designed a couple of Coast Guard related graphic images and now sell them on merchandise and clothing. You can check out my blog by clicking here and you and also check out my Post-Coastie store by clicking here.
